[quote=Anonymous]We adopted a similar culture child but we did adoption play groups and found the same experience you did. I wouldn't bother if you don't feel a connection. I would not push the adoption/playgroup issue as your child at this age isn't going to care. I think it is overhyped too. It is far better for your child to have friends that they/you connect with vs. just pushing friends as they have similar backgrounds. I find the older my child gets, the less I feel toward the "adoption" part as she is just my child, and its just part of her history/how she joined our family. She will know her birth family and background but I don't think the adoption part should be a huge focus. When she was little I did it more for me as it was hard to connect with friends who were not going through or had been through adoption even though they tried to be supportive. [/quote]
